When I first bought this movie on 8mm I couldn't wait to see it. The one guy is so fucking hot, I was really looking forward to seeing more of him. Me, I like to see shots that accent the chest, arms, belly, butt and face of a handsome man. Maybe I'm alone in that, but some film makers just like to show close ups of a dick going into a mouth or ass. Over and over. And over. And it's been that way since the beginning of porn and it's still true today.
If you are the type of fan that likes just the close ups of action, this is a movie you will like. You can read more about this scene in my earlier review a few months ago, but it would be even better to join the site and see the movie for yourself.
Don't forget, passwords for Vintage Bareback are also good at LavenderLounge.com.
It starts with soft focus and a close-up of two men kissing passionately. As the camera pulls out, we see they are on a mattress in front of a roaring fire in a large, empty room in a elegant home. Is it true romance? We'll never know. The details of this shoot are left to your imagination...
The star of "Muscle Romance" is hunky guido-looking guy with an awesome build and a thick, meaty cock. Though there is no sound, he is clearly in charge, as evidenced by his steamy looks and no-nonsense attitude. He has a naturally muscular body with a full, smooth chest, protruding pecs, and pointy, very suckable nipples. John Travolta could have studied him for "Saturday Night Fever". The partner is also mid-twenties with blond hair and a regulation mustache of the period.
I really think you'll like this movie from the mid-70's. It's two regular guys that get right down to the fucking with no extra trappings or pretensions. Back then, the term for them was "clone".
By sheer luck I was able to match this movie with the glossy magazine spread that was put out to promote it. You can see the entire 10 minute loop and the 33 high quality scanned images (viewable in a slideshow) only if you become a member of the VIP Room, so join now!
I titled this movie "Muscle Punk Dress-Up" because it incorporated a bit of amateur, primitive, and impromptu use of fetish clothing as the primary niche. Leather, Levi's, uniforms and all the classic macho trappings get taken for a whirl. From the looks of it, the film maker brought over two hot new models and took them out to the garage to pick out some costumes for their big gay porn debut. Since there was probably nothing planned, they just took the camera with them out to the garage to make sure they didn't miss anything "good".
They starting digging around in piles of junk like it was a low-end garage sale, trying on different outfits to find something "hot" to wear for their scene. Plans for shooting in the house folded as the boys couldn't keep their hands off each other. The mustached daddy put on a military uniform while the punk was still shyly wearing the Levis jacket and pants he arrived in (a fetish look in itself). They start kissing and grabbing ass, and someone starts putting his hands down the other guy's pants. Next thing you know the cameraman is getting "artsy", shooting into the reflection of a hastily placed mirror showing the punk sucking on dad in uniform.
Rimjobs are exchanged, they switch places, and clothes magically appear and disappear. A high school letter jacket, leather chaps, leather motorcycle jacket, mechanic jumpsuit, and black wife-beaters all make their brief appearances. Clothing fetishes for the whole family!
It all ends in a big orgasm with dicks large enough to require two hands to handle those whoppers. "Muscle Punk Dress-Up" is a 14 minute vintage gay porn movie loop from the mid-1970's with excellent color and manly, muscular models with natural bodies. You can see the whole movie only if you are a member of the VIP Room. (Passwords to Lavender Lounge are valid here, too!)
I think you're going to really like this gallery! The free 60 second movie clip above shows how this movie has some of the best color saturation and sharpest picture of all the movies I've transferred so far. It's also one of the longest scenes I have, too, clocking in at almost 18 minutes. And by keeping a diligent watch on items for sale on eBay, I also found the full-color glossy magazine that went it, too! With a membership to VintageBareback.com (or LavenderLounge.com) you'll see the full 18 minute movie (available full screen, too) and see a slide show of 40 high quality magazines scans!
"Muscle Jock Workout" features three young jocks at a late 1970's style gay gym pretending to do a workout. Let's not mince words, they're not really lifting weights, come on. By today's steroid-fueled standards, they're not what you'd call "built". And it's odd to see nary a tattoo nor a single bit of pierced flesh between them! Though not the ballooned up pin-cushioned cartoons we're accustomed to in modern gay porn, they've got the rock hard abs and v-shaped torsos of a swimmer / gymnast / jogger. Cute faces and big juicy cocks, too.
Extra points are given to the costumes in "Muscle Jock Workout". The tiny jogging shorts and tank tops with contrasting colored piping on the edges and knee-high white socks with horizontal stripes only recently made a comeback with the uber-hipsters. I think it's the colors-not-found-in-nature that give it that camp appeal the hipsters love. They spend most of the movie in nothing but white jock straps, not that they need to, but there are a lot of guys who get turned on by sweaty jocks.
I also took note at the workout machine they were using and it occurred to me I hadn't seen one of those "universal" machines in a long, long time. That was one of the first machines available at gyms that made it "safe" for non-jocks to enter a gym without any training in free weights. They've now been replaced with much more high tech machines, and sadly, everyone still uses them wrong.
If you like the short preview clip above of "Muscle Jock Workout", the gallery with beautifully preserved video and vivid still photography is now available in the VIP Room of VintageBareback.com (accessible with LavenderLounge.com passwords, too!)
This gallery offers a beautifully photographed 15 minute video transferred from 8mm plus a slide show of 33 photographs from a magazine published to promote the film. The scene involves three handsome guys in their early 20's, each with the trim, sinewy of a gymnast. Hairstyles are longer than you'd see today, but the peach fuzz on the upper lip of one guy is a perennial favorite of studs entering manhood. Please note the use of period headbands and gym shorts trimmed with piping in contrasting colors.
Below is the describing the scene taken verbatim from the magazine. It's a little hard to tell who is playing which character, but they fuck, suck and look cute doing it, so it really doesn't matter.
Mark is the new equipment boy at Tony's gym and he's real anxious to please. His handsome and youthful body has not gone unnoticed by the customers, particularly Scott. Scott asked Mark to hold his feet for some quick push-ups (except he's actually doing sit-ups, ed.) so he could get to know the boy better. Just the touch of Mark's hands got him started.
Soon the boys decide to do their workout naked and Mark got an eyeful of Scott's long cock. His lust shows all over him as his own prick grows thick and hard. Tony rubs the knob of his rapidly swelling organ as he anticipates some hot action in his gym. Scott wants to help Mark get off but the way it works out, Mark winds up sucking Scott off. His cock grows to a thick ten inches and the sight of it makes Mark's bunghole tingle.
Scott flips Mark over and puts one of his big hands on each round cheek. He spreads that cheery asshole open and rams his cock up inside. Mark screams out, first in pain, then in pleasure and searches for Tony's prick to suck on. Mark gets it from both ends until Scott can't hold back any longer. Scott comes on Mark's cute fanny so hard the thrust pulls Mark off of Tony's prick. By now Tony's too hot to stop and fucks Mark, too.
Mark handles Scott's long rod as he feels Tony's go deep inside his butt. As Tony gets hotter, his cock swells until Mark thinks his asshole will burst. Then he feels it. Tony's swollen cock explodes inside Mark's asshole and fills him with jism. Then he pulls out and squirts the rest all over Mark so he can see it splash on the boy's white skin. Tony holds his still red prick over Mark's crack and decides it was a good idea to hire this new boy.
Gordon Grant was a square-jawed, muscular and masculine 1970s and 1980s star and Colt model who also went by the name of Don Bowman. He had a 9-inch cut cock, brown hair and brown eyes and usually topped. He stood about 6ft 2ins tall. From what I can piece together, he died of AIDS in the early 1990's.
In this scene, Grant completely dominates a much smaller, unremarkable guy in some sort of machine shop. (Very butch.) The bottom is merely a toy for the pleasure of the muscular top. The scene belongs to Gordon Grant.
After tweaking the picture quality, the image in black and white on a small computer screen is much clearer and more detailed than in it's 8mm form.

Without sound on this film it's hard to tell exactly what's going on in this scene, as if plot actually matters... From what I could tell, the long haired stud with the beard and glasses is applying to become a roommate in a gay household. In order to test out compatibility, the muscular applicant takes one of the residents in to a bedroom to have sex. To take the investigation even further, one of the nosy roommates peaks through the keyhole to watch the scene unfold.
I've seen the roommate-to-be in other movies and he has an absolutely killer body! He fucks the daylights out of the bottom, assuring himself a choice spot on the list of potential residents. The bedroom is very spartan, as is the front hallway, so I can't imagine it being too difficult to get into this household, but rules are rules, and you gotta pass the test.
This 8 minute scene digitally transferred from 8mm film is now available to VIP Members. Though the original film have very good color and contrast in most shots, poor planning and minimal lighting caused some problems with shadows. With modern digital color correction, I was so successful in making adjustments that I believe it looks better now than it ever did on screen.
For many guys, the image of a "vintage gay porn movie" is exactly like this scene. "Carpenter Daddies" involves three blue collar hairy muscle daddies remodeling a Victorian house in San Francisco. All three are in their mid to late 30's, they have hairy chests, facial hair and bulging muscles. No shaved balls either! This is manly men having manly sex in work clothes and boots.
After taking a Budweiser break, one guy gets the ball rolling by grabbing a beefy daddy's crotch as he opens the fridge. Next thing you know they're sucking on saw horses and fucking on the unfinished floor.
